Happy Thread

Thanks, American Walnut. It is a Browning 725 and I do keep it in the gun cabinet. Just wanted to make sure it fit in the case since the new stock is bigger than factory. The Browning service center is only about 25 miles from my house so I just take my guns there to be worked on if needed. I'm too old to spend $10+k on a Perazzi or Kreighoff because I'll never put 200,000 rounds through it like some of my friends, plus I'm not that good and won't be in any competitions. I just enjoy shooting at the club. It will be nice to have a fitted stock so it always comes up in the same position. I have arranged to get some lessons from the Lindenwood University coaching staff as I have not had any before and they are a good local resource racking up the wins nationally so perhaps I can periodically score well.

The case thing is interesting you mentioned that, I have an old Perazzi MX3 skeet gun and normally when I would take it out just use a long case. Well, after a few years I opened up the Perazzi take-down case and most of the inside had deteriorated, even the leather wrapped around the wood choke tube cases. Had the gun been inside it would have had nasty little particles of junk everywhere in and on the gun.


My wife and I enjoy sporting clays. She has a Franchi Renaissance 20 gauge and I have an SKB O/U 12 gauge. Neither of us will ever win any tournaments but we enjoy going to the local club. It's only a few miles from our cabin. I've been thinking about a fitted stock also. The SKB seems to never come up in the same position.

Fitted stock should help and they aren’t as expensive as I thought. I will shoot some this weekend. It feels right though.
 
I am so happy I received my new coffee grinder... I really didn’t think a decent grinder, compared to an excellent one could make such a difference... Well, it does...

Yea, my grinder stays in the pantry while her electric cork remover sits on the counter! I need more counter space.

I think it’s great that she shoots with you, my wife wants no part of it. How do you like the SKB? I was looking at those for a while, but never pulled the trigger, so to speak.

An electric cork remover? Really?? What a waste of space, no offense to your wife. How hard is it to just use a corkscrew! :P
 
Happy to have my College Summer schedule worked out, happy to start my new PART TIME job in about an hour

I’m happy for a great wife that tolerates my cigar habit, great grandchildren, hanging with you folks, and a total of 45 years of pugs, ( 4 in total).
